***************************************************************************************************************

I'm goind to die.

I think it's pretty obvious, huh. I mean, both Liora and I are tied up with some magic proof rope, along with Natsu and the others, and it may seem like we're about to be burned to death in order to destroy Earthland...just great. But that didn't stop me. I stuggled with all my might to escape, cutting my wrists in the process. "It's no use, child. It's impossible to break through that kind of rope."

"I won't give up!" I cried. "I won't ever give up!" Solar chuckled and strutted her way to me. She snatched my neck, beginning to choke me violently. I gasped for air, wishing I could claw away her hands away. She released me from her clutches, and I coughed  brutally. "Lisanna, hand me the knife," Solar ordered. Lisanna froze for a moment. "NOW!"

Lisanna jumped and quickly handed Solar the knife. It was a sterling silver knife with a jewlstudded handle, probably the sharpest thing I've ever seen. She walked over to Liora, who was blindly behind me. Suddenly, I heard a sharp scream from my younger sister. "Liora!" I saw blood drops drip to the ground, and panic rose inside of me. I could hear Solar's footsteps walk towards me slowly, the sound of her heels making me quake with fear. 

Solar was now straight in front of me. Blood dripped from the blade. Her once gentle eyes were gone  and were now ice cold. "DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER!" I heard Natsu yell. Tears began streaming down. Please, Natsu, I whispered in my mind. Don't make this even more painful than it already is. Solar slowly licked away the blod with one stroke of the tongue and smiled. "Shall it be your turn?" 

I shook my head savagely. She willingly went through the rope and grabbed my hand. She gently pressed the cold blad upon my delicate skin. Slowly, she began to press harder and harder against my wrist. I screamed out loud, feeling the weapon pierce my skin. I could feel the blood spill down my arm, as well as the faint sound of Natsu and Liora's screams. Finally, Solar released me, my arm feeling lifeless. I took deep, heavy breaths, my face now wet with sweat and tears. "Now, was that so hard?" Solar pouted.

"...Go...to hell," I muttered.

Solar laughed. "How many times have I heard THAT in my lifetime!" Then, her unnoticable watch began to beep. "Oh, it's showtime! Pan, open the roof!" Pan took out his flute and began to play a tiny melody. The earth above us began to shake, separating into halves.  The sky was now visible, yet there were no stars in the night sky. "In just a few seconds, you'll experience your magic plus your life source being sucked away into the tear that separates the Spirit World and Earthland! You may feel a slight pinch all over your body, but you'll be dead after ten minutes."

I drastically searched for Liora's hand and gave it a tight squeeze. I could hear my twin whimper with fear. "Onee-chan, I'm scared."

"Don't be," I said with emtpy confidence. "We'll make it through this. We'll defeat Solar, go home, and be together forever." Liora squeezed my hand even more. 

Then, a bright light appeared in the sky. A light of different colors of blues and pinks and greens. I stared upon it with amazement. It looked so...beautiful.

But then again, it was also the cause of my death.

"Aha! There it is! Isn't this the perfect way to celebrate your birthday!" I could now see the stars falling from the sky, so colorful as they gently touched my face. I could now see the tiny tear and a little image of the Spirit World. A light came down specifically down on Liora and me, and that's when I began to feel it.

The horrible, excruciating pain.

"AAAAAAAH!" I screamed. It was horrible. Absolutely horrible. I could feel it through my bones, through my muscles, through my bare skin. Liora was screaming as well, her shrill voice matching mine. I could feel my skin burning like hell. I was going oto die. "Ah, music to my ears." 

"Please....make it...stop!" I cried.

"Stop? HAHA! There is no way of stopping this unless one of us took your place, which would be VERY unlikely." She looked up at the sky and smiled. "The tear is getting bigger and bigger. Soon, Earthland will be gone, and a new world shall become the overtakers!"

I wanted it all to end. This was all just too painful. I could feel our world growing darker and darker.

Soon, the whole world was filled with darkness.

To my surprise, I had awaken. I didn't know where I was, but all I knew was that I was no longer in the tunnel systems. I was in a place that was...white. Celestiana? No, this was too...serene to be Celestiana. "Ah, so you've come," a deep male voice called out. I looked over to see a tan man with the longest black hair I've ever seen. His eyes were so green, and he wore a silky looking tan robe. "Who....who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Alfonso Rafaied. Your sister's beloved," he smiled. I stared at him for a moment. "Your...Alfonso? Why are you here? Where am I?" 

"I know you are confused, child. You are still in the tunnel system, your life is still being sucked away."

"So...am I dead?" I asked nervously. Alfonso shook his head. "You are just...in a trance."

"But why? Why am I in this trance!" I cried.

"Because there is something I must tell you: six people will die today."

"Six?" I slowly calculated the math. Did that mean Solar was gonna to die! And alonger her followers! I smiled for a moment, I realized about our other person. "So who else is gonna die besides Solar and her followers?"

Alfonso's face turned sullen. "The Fates are stuck between two people. One being your sister..."

"And the other?" I asked.

"...The Strauss girl."

"Lisanna?" I gasped. "It has to be her. It has to be! She's been cruel ever since she's come back to Earthland!"

"I know, for which her sins are grave. But there is something inside her...a hint of guilt and sorrow...I can foresee something so shocking that could change everything."

"What! What is it!" Suddenly, Alfonso slowly began to fade away. "Please...tell Liora that I love her and if she lives, that I'm by Angel Falls."

"I will, but-?" But it was too late. Alfonse disappeared, and the world arround me began to fade back into darkness.

When I woke up, the whole scene changed before me. My once burning skin was beginning to cool, and there was no longer any new pain all over. I looked up and saw the sky back to normal, the tear completely gone. "Wh...what?" Suddenly, I felt someone beginning to cut the magic rope tieing both Liora and me. "You guys have a limited time before they wake up. Make the most of it."

I looked up and gasped. Solar and her followers were passed out on the ground, not moving at all."Lisanna?"

"You should damn lucky I'm doing this for you," she hissed.

"What happened do the tear?" I asked.

"I was able to pause it for a limited time. If Solar gets you back, then the tear will reappear."

"Why are you doing this?" Liora asked. "You hate both Lucy and you helped get me kidnapped."

"Let's kist say a change of heart is possible," Lisanna muttered. She finally cut through the rope, releasing us. I rubbed my wrists as the ached. She gave the knife to Liora and said, "Quickly cut the others."

Liora nodded and ran to the others, leaving just me and Lisanna. "Hey," Lisanna said, "..I'm sorry."

"Huh?"

"Ugh, don't make me say it again. I'm sorry! For what I did five years ago, for what I did to your sister, for...everything." Then the most shocking thing happened. I saw tears begin to fall out her eyes. Her body began to tremble. "I'm such a horrible person...I deserve to go to hell....I'm sorry. I'M SORRY!"

I actually felt sorry for her. She knew her wrongs and was admitting them through saying sorry. I walked up to her and gave her a gentle hug. She stood there in shock. "That's all I wanted to hear, Lisanna...That's all I wanted to hear."

Lisanna dug her face into my neck and began to weep. She wrapped her arms around me, continuing to whisper, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry."

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw Natsu, free from the rope. She gave a sad smile. "Do you forgive her?" He mouthed. Despite all things that's happened, I did forgive her. I didn't know why, but I just had the feeling that I did. I nodded at Natsu's question, and he gave me a sad smile. He patted my blond head. Lisanna gently pulled away and said, "This isn't the time. We have to leave, now!"

"She's right. Let's go!" Natsu grabbed my hand, and I grabbed Lisanna's. Together with Liora and the others, we quickly made our way through the tunnel system as fast as we could. When we were half way there, we heard a scream. "LISANNA!"

"Crap, she woke up!" Lisanna gasped.

"We've got to hurry!" Liora yelled. We ran faster and faster, and we could finally see the light from the surface. "We're almost there!" Erza cried. When we reached the hole, one by one everyone began to climb out, leaving me and Lisanna last. "You go on first," I said.

"No, I'll follow you," Lisanna said. Suddenly, my enhanced ears heard something.

Something deadly was coming this way, and by the magic cordanance were locked on Lisanna. I slightly gasped and just lifted Lisanna in the air. "Just do it! Climb!"

Lisanna hesitated at first, but soon climbed out with the help of Natsu. Natsu reached his hand out and said, "Hurry! Climb up!" I reached for his hand, and at first, I thought everything was going to be okay.

That was until something hit me.

Natsu's eyes were wide with horror. "What's...wrong?" I asked. I looked down and gasped as well.

In the middle of my body was a spear, changing the color of my dress from white to crimson red.

"Na...tsu..."

I blacked out right after, hearing Natsu's screams drown into my mind.
